Fusing mythology, werewolves, and vampires with a story loaded with mystery, action and romance, this comic book series take place in a world where vampires, werewolves, and other creatures of nightmare have been declared legal citizens of the United States. ANITA BLAKE is an 'animator' - a profession that involves raising the dead for a living and a fearsome hunter of criminal vampires, and she moonlights by investigating cases that are far too much for 'conventional' police.
